Solo attack on Colle Paravenna falls short for Mavi García at Giro Donne

Mavi Garcia goes on a solo attack on stage 7 in an attempt at stage win and GC podium at Giro Donne

Going into stage 7 of the Giro Donne, Mavi García (Liv Racing TeqFind) was fifth overall, 39 seconds behind Juliette Labous (Team DSM-Firmenich) in third place, and a hope of moving onto the overall podium before the race was over. 

The Spanish champion attacked early on Colle Paravenna as she saw an opportunity to take time, perhaps even the stage win, and move up to third place in the GC standings.
